It was drizzling and Nick, the cop, was patrolling the town which was just hit by a strong earthquake. 

Nick just went past an orchard which used to be a perfect place for orchestrated picking, and in which there used to be scores of enchanting orchids with beautiful large petals. 

Then he saw a weeping girl who was trying to paddle through a puddle. He pulled the poor girl to safety and wiped the tears from her face. He then managed to turn off a rubber nozzle and the dirty water stopped bubbling

     It was the day, when Anah was eagerly waiting for her result to be announced.

     His brother entered the room with a newspaper in his hand and gave Anah a confusing look. She was numb, frozen and shocked of what his brother is going to announce. In a single glimpse her mother recognized his brother’s gesture. And played a trick with her.

     Before Anah could take the paper from his brother, her mother interrupted and abruptly snatched the paper and pretended

A Terrible Accident

Saba was working on the farm, a trailer was passing on the road, it was loaded bags of chemical fertilizer, the road was winding near the river, and when the driver was turning the wind, the trailer was overturned.

Saba and some villagers were watching that horrible scene, the front of the trailer was on fire, and if the fire came the back of the vehicle where the fuel tank was, the trailer would explode.

No one would dare come close to a vehicle whic

Punctuation is used to create sense, clarity and stress in a sentence.  They are small signs that help to organize and provide structure to a sentence.  Sometimes we can think to ourselves, are these signs really necessary?  I mean can they actually make a difference?  I came across different punctuation mistakes on the internet, some were funny and strange but some were just downright wrong!  To say that punctuation can not only alter the content of the sentence but can create a distortion is a

The newly-wed couple Bob and his wife Bonnie were on their way home, the villa that was near the village Bob's parents used to live. The couple did have a good time at the bar. 

It was Bonnie's birthday that day. Bob could have treated his wife to a banquet or a chic clothing boutique or an antique store or a barbecue, but only caught himself buying a bouquet of rose and settling down to have a drink with his wife at the bar.  Bob had had his hair cut at the barber's because he could have been ba

Page 300- Alice's Biography

As Alice stepped out into the morning sun she felt a slight chill of uncertainty suddenly gripped her senses but she gave herself a gentle nudge to remind her of the reason she was here.   The huge molave trees towered above her and the dense forest unveiled markings of a terrain astonishingly alien to modern civilization.  If it were not for the rows of wooden dainty houses behind her, it would seem that she was in some deserted Amazonian jungle. 

It seemed like yeste

It was a very pleasant day, when MI’s younger brother asked to go out for a walk on the beach.  MI was curious, because this was the last thing his younger brother would ask him, because he always liked to be in the company of friends rather than to go out with MI. 

‘Yes, what is it?” MI asked his brother.  They were walking on the beach, the sun seemed tired and wanting to lie down on the horizon. 

“We have, I mean we all, Mom, sister and other brothers decided t

Before you read this, pick a number from 1-300, and write it down.

This month, we are going to work on writing a page from our biography.  A biography is a book or article about a person's life. What is the most interesting part in a biography? Some people think the childhood is the most interesting part. Others like reading about the struggles of early marriage, career, or parenthood. We all hope that retirement or old age will be the best part of our lives. 

Even though we are writing about ours

“Hey you! Don’t make my meter down (make me angry) by cheating. I am noticing you have measured the cloth less than a metre! “I am sorry Sir”.
“Then, why did you do it in the first place. I must advise you to change this habit of yours. Mind my advice, otherwise I will message to the local authority and they will massage your neck (squeeze you). Now do not leave the piece of cloth loose. Pack it properly. If you keep continuing your cheating you will lose your business. Don’t you like to eat de

Today, I want to greet all the great people in the world. See! The sun that has no son rises from the east in the morning. The wind can’t win in the war of your mourning. I see you’re in daze these days. Indeed, you’d been being so weak for the whole last week.

I can hear your weeping from here. I can feel your beautiful eyes dropping tears so often. Like a dense smoke dancing in front of you, you haven’t seen the scene of happiness. Now, let’s have a seat for a while to take a seed of new enthus

Sometimes when the world is full of spite and our dreams are down to the last leaf on the branch, we just want to recoil from everything.   We long to vanish into thin air without leaving even a trace of our scent behind.   Just as if we never existed.    But what if there was another perspective, another set of lens with which we could view our life, would we give it a try?  If we are only able to focus on the good things, would we come to an acceptance,  would we come to a contentment, and dar

Full moon is showing its beauty, the dark clouds playing hide and seek, cover the moon to hide the beauty then removes its curtain and there shines the beauty.

So as my beloved, shows her beauty, and then slightly bows her head the silky dark hair slide down on her face by the side to hide her beauty like the cloud hides the moon.

This hide and seek is going on and on since the beauty and the love for beauty descended from heaven.

I am one of those hearts which beats in rhythm with this hide and se

Vince was mowing the lawn when his friend Vic shouted at him out of the blue, "Have you been to Venice?" 

"What?" Vince shouted back. "I've never been to Venus. Are you crazy?"

"Venice, the Italian city. Not Venus, the planet."

Vince stopped to talk with Vic on the lawn. Early in the morning, Vince heard a snap outside and he scrambled to the lawn and only found out it was the cat that was meowing on the fallen branch - the cat might have had a nap on the tree.   He decided to mow and clean the law

One day, a plumber was trying to buy some plums. The plumber was not good at bargaining, much less a veteran bargainer. He couldn't believe his ears when he knew the price of the plums. "How could the plums be so expensive?" he shaked his head. He fished some bills out of his vest, though he thought it was an irrational price. He thought to himself on his way home, "I do have a nice vest on, but that doesn't mean I'm a vet (a veterinarian or a veteran). If I had the veto power, I would veto any

In the stillness of the dawn I found myself at the site of my childhood home, a sight so soothing and hauntingly hopeful. Soft pink summer rays of the sun seeping through the lace curtains nods an assent at my arrival as I make my ascent to a flight of stairs that seemed like an endless carousel ride. I opened the door to my old bedroom and with bated breath I stepped inside, baited by the fond memories of my sojourn there. Recollections of youth allude to secret fantasies a young heart could no

She had always been sceptic about his love since the very first day she declared to him that she loved him, and when he searched his heart, he found that it was too strange that it had already got septic by the bacteria of love.  He knew that the path of love was tortuous and it’s always been a torturous, but it was still titillating and titivating for him to become the glint of her eye. But one day he felt falling from the top storey of his building when she sent him message that she does not l

Yes, it's high time we had another writing challenge. Let's talk about words that look or sound alike. 

I just read a news report about the typhoon Soudelor, and it said there was a power outage in a city battered by the typhoon. The word 'outage' instantly made me remember another word 'outrage' - I may have confused 'outage' with 'outrage'. 

In fact, there are so many words that look or sound alike or 'confusing words' in English. How about 'desert vs dessert', 'gateway vs getaway', 'fussy vs fu
